Four Most Beautiful Villages in Italy
Alberobello
Set in the area of Puglia,close to the coastal town of Bari,this village is famous for its beautiful trulli,which are conical roof structures made without any mortar.The large number of trulli makes Alberobello truly unique.You can even stay in one of these houses when visiting the village.

Portofino
The harbor village of Portofino,set in the province of Genoa,offers access to several cozy beaches nearby,which is why this medieval village has been transformed into a pretty vacation site.Having anything from old landmarks to designer stores,this village is the perfect place to enjoy the finest things in life.You could also visit an underwater statue.

One morning more than thirty years ago,I entered the Track Kitchen,a restaurant where everyone from the humblest(最卑微的) to the most powerful came for breakfast.I noticed an empty chair next to an elderly,unshaven man,who looked somewhat disheveled.He was wearing a worn-out hat and was alone.I asked if I might join him.He agreed quietly and I sat down to have my breakfast.
We cautiously began a conversation and spoke about a wide range of things.We never introduced ourselves.I was concerned that he might have no money and not be able to afford something to eat.So as I rose to go back to the counter and buy a second cup of coffee,I asked,“May I get you something?”
“A coffee would be nice.”
Then I bought him a cup of coffee.We talked more,and he accepted another cup of coffee.Finally,I rose to leave,wished him well,and headed for the exit.At the door I met one of my friends.He asked,“How did you get to know Mr.Galbreath?”
“Who?”
“The man you were sitting with.He is chairman of the Board of Churchill Downs.”
I could hardly believe it.I was buying,offering a free breakfast,and feeling pity for one of the world's richest and most powerful men!
My few minutes with Mr.Galbreath changed my life.Now I try to treat everyone with respect,no matter who I think they are,and to meet another human being with kindness and sincerity.

(2024·贵阳高二检测)Before uploading a photo of ourselves to social media,chances are that we'll use an app to smooth our skin,make our eyes look bigger,and lips fuller.With a couple of taps on our mobile phone,we can get a quick fix and present the “best” version of ourselves to the world.However,the problem is,when we simply edit our imperfections away,we're also changing the way we look at ourselves.
Researchers published the article Selfies—Living in the Era of Filtered(过滤的) Photographs.The article analysed photo editing apps' bad influences on people's self-respect and their possibility to cause appearance anxieties.The researchers also warned that such apps make it difficult to tell the difference between reality and fantasy.“These apps allow one to change his or her appearance in minutes and follow an unrealistic standard of beauty,” the article reads.
In the past,people may have compared their looks to those of famous people.But for today's young people,beauty standards are most likely set by what they see on social media.“From birth,they are born into an age of social platforms where their feelings of self-worth can be based purely on the number of likes and followers that they have,which is linked to how good they look,” British cosmetic doctor Tijion Esho told The Independent.This is why many young people suffer an identity trouble when it comes to appearance.
“Now you've got this daily comparison of your real self to this fake self that you present on social media,” Renee Engeln,a professor of psychology,told a website.Engeln further pointed out that when people spend too much time making such comparisons,they may become “beauty sick” and find it difficult to accept what they actually look like.“Because between you and the world is a mirror.It's a mirror that travels with you everywhere.You can't seem to put it down,” she told The Washington Post.So when we look in a real mirror,we shouldn't think to ourselves,“Do I look as good as myself in the filtered photos?” Instead,we should think,“I feel good;I have my health.”
8.What will we probably do before uploading a photo to social media?
A.We will have an operation to make our eyes look bigger.
B.We will use some cream to smooth our skin.
C.We will use an app to fix our photo.
D.We will edit our perfections away.
9.What can we learn from Paragraph 2?
A.In many ways,photo editing apps are beneficial to people.
B.Photo editing apps are likely to cause people's anxieties about their appearances.
C.Photo editing apps can make people more beautiful.
D.Photo editing apps help people judge realistic beauty.
10.When it comes to appearance,why do many young people suffer an identity trouble?
A.Because they compare their looks to those of famous people.
B.Because beauty standards are set by social media.
C.Because their feelings of self-worth depend on their own likes and dislikes.
D.Because their feelings of self-worth depend on their appearances.
11.According to Engeln,what should we do?
A.We should feel good about what we actually look like.
B.We should spend more time making comparison of our real selves to fake selves.
C.We should take a mirror with us everywhere.
D.We should try to look as good as ourselves in the filtered photos.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。研究人员在一篇文章中指出了照片编辑软件对人们自尊的不良影响以及可能导致的外貌焦虑。心理学教授Renee Engeln认为人们应该接受自己真实的外表。
8.C [解析]细节理解题。根据第一段第一句“Before uploading a photo of ourselves to social media,chances are that we'll use an app to smooth our skin,make our eyes look bigger,and lips fuller.”可知,在上传照片到社交媒体之前,我们可能会使用一个应用软件来美化照片。故选C。
9.B [解析]细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“The article analysed photo editing apps' bad influences on people's self-respect and their possibility to cause appearance anxieties.”可知,照片编辑软件很可能会让人们对自己的外貌感到焦虑。故选B。
10.D [解析]细节理解题。根据第三段第三句“From birth,they are born into an age of social platforms ...which is linked to how good they look”可知,许多年轻人都有自我认同问题是因为他们的自我价值感取决于他们的外表。故选D。
11.A [解析]推理判断题。根据最后一段中的Engeln的话“So when we look in a real mirror,we shouldn't think to ourselves,‘Do I look as good as myself in the filtered photos?’ Instead,we should think,‘I feel good;I have my health.’”可知,当我们照镜子时,我们不应该想:“我看起来和加滤镜的照片一样好吗?”相反,我们应该这样想:“我感觉很好;我有我的健康。”故可推知,我们应该认可自己真实的外表。故选A。
D
(2024·长沙高二检测)Time and time again,I hear someone ask why anyone would want to keep an “ugly” building or a building that is dirty and clearly in need of work.I think you could say we preservationists(文物保护者) look at buildings through a different angle—an angle that can see the swan in the ugly duck,the story in the simple lines,the book behind the cover.
Take the Queen Emma Building for example.While people may remember that building being named as one of the ugliest buildings in town,the angle from which a preservationist will view the building is that it is uniquely constructed with an artistical brise-soleil(遮阳板) to block the sun.The designer used standard concrete bricks to form a decorative wall.Unfortunately,the brise-soleil was removed in 2011,making the building look like many of the contemporary buildings in town.
Sometimes people remember a beautiful site that was replaced by a “very unpleasant” piece of architecture and can't get over their anger,even when that building becomes an important part of our story.This is particularly true in San Francisco where many preservationists themselves dislike anything newer,than the Victorian era.Yes,it was a tragedy that many failed to appreciate the Victorian buildings and let many get torn down several decades ago,but those losses also tell another important story.It tells the story of the 1950s and 1960s when there was hope for a more equal society with inexpensive housing for the working class.Should that history be wiped from our memories?
Preservation is not just about keeping pretty,well-kept buildings,but about conveying parts of our history—not just the history of huge events,but the story of how everyone used to go to a certain corner market.Our history cannot be told only in buildings that meet someone's criteria of beauty;sometimes our history is painful,but no less important.
12.How do preservationists see buildings?
A.They focus on their value rather than appearance.
B.They pay great attention to ancient buildings.
C.They are devoted to repairing famous buildings.
D.They prefer ugly buildings to beautiful ones.
13.What does the author think of removing the brise-soleil of the Queen Emma Building?
A.It's confusing. B.It's pleasing.
C.It's regrettable. D.It's unbelievable.
14.Why were many Victorian buildings in San Francisco torn down?
A.To wipe the history of the Victorian era.
B.To make land available for cheap housing.
C.To work off the deep anger of the working class.
D.To restore the architecture before the Victorian era.
15.What is the author's intention of writing this passage?
A.To introduce some buildings with historical value.
B.To explain the reason why architects make ugly buildings.
C.To praise the work of preservationists.
D.To stress the importance of preserving ugly buildings.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要论述了为什么丑陋的建筑值得保存。
12.A [解析]推理判断题。根据第一段第二句“I think you could say we preservationists look at buildings ...the book behind the cover.”可知,保护主义者从一个不同的角度看建筑——一个可以看到丑小鸭中的天鹅、简单话语中的故事和封面后面的书本的角度。由此推知,保护主义者关注的是建筑的价值而不是外观。故选A。
13.C [解析]推理判断题。根据第二段第二句中的it is uniquely constructed with an artistical brise-soleil to block the sun以及最后一句“Unfortunately,the brise-soleil was removed in 2011,making the building look like many of the contemporary buildings in town.”可知,作者认为艾玛女王大厦的遮阳板很独特,拆除遮阳板后使得这座建筑看起来像城里的许多当代建筑一样。故可推知,作者认为拆除遮阳板是件令人遗憾的事情。故选C。
14.B [解析]细节理解题。根据第三段第三、四句“Yes,it was a tragedy that many failed to appreciate the Victorian buildings and let many get torn down several decades ago ...with inexpensive housing for the working class.”可知,旧金山很多维多利亚时代的建筑被拆除,是为了腾出土地为工人阶级建造廉价住房。故选B。
15.D [解析]推理判断题。根据全文内容,并结合最后一段可知,文章主要解释了为什么丑陋的建筑值得保存。故可推知,作者写这篇文章的目的是强调保存丑陋建筑物的重要性。故选D。

How to Have an Attractive Personality
Being attractive comes more from your personality than your appearance,and demonstrating an attractive personality is key to having lasting relationships.16. The following tips help foster your ability to fascinate others.
Laugh at yourself. If you make a fool of yourself,laugh at yourself instead of feeling embarrassed.It shows that you're comfortable in your skin.A sense of humor makes someone more engaging and delightful to be with.17. It is a great ice-breaker or stress reliever,but don't ruin a serious conversation with inappropriate jokes.
Speak sincerely. Tell people the truth.If you can't commit to something, it's better to be honest about it than to have to tell them last minute that you can't make it.When people ask for your opinion,you should be honest.18. For instance,if you don't like your friend's shirt,respond with,“I really like you in blue instead,” rather than,“I hate it.It's ugly.”
19. If you see value in making others laugh and keep yourself positive,you'll be a happier person,making others drawn to you as a result.A great way to remind you to laugh more is to have daily jokes on your phone or email.Set them for a time of day when you notice yourself start to feel drained.
Have confidence in your body. You don't have to have the “perfect body” to be confident in it.People will be more attracted to you if you dress well and carry yourself well.If you need a little boost,place posters around your mirror that remind you of the charming parts of your body.20.
A.Speak in a positive way.
B.Make laughing a priority.
C.Remember,there is a time and place for humor.
D.There is difference between being frank and rude,though.
E.Focus on these rather than what you're self-conscious about.
F.Actually,developing engaging personalities is not that far out of reach.
G.But having charming appearance is only skin-deep and far from enough.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何拥有迷人的个性。
16.F [解析]根据上文“Being attractive comes more from your personality than your appearance,and demonstrating an attractive personality is key to having lasting relationships.”可知,上文介绍了拥有迷人个性的重要性。结合下文介绍的正是如何拥有迷人的个性,所以F项“事实上,培养迷人的个性并非遥不可及”符合语境,其中的engaging personalities与上文的attractive personality呼应。故选F。
17.C [解析]根据下文“It is a great ice-breaker or stress reliever,but don't ruin a serious conversation with inappropriate jokes.”可知,幽默感很重要,但也要分时间和地点,不要用不恰当的笑话破坏严肃的对话。由此推知,下文正是对空处内容的举例说明,C项“记住,幽默也要注意时间和场合”符合语境。故选C。
18.D [解析]根据下文“For instance,if you don't like your friend's shirt,respond with,‘I really like you in blue instead,’ rather than,‘I hate it.It's ugly.’”可知,坦率很重要,但也要注意尺度。由此推知,空处应该介绍诚实不代表没有礼貌,所以D项“不过,坦率和粗鲁是有区别的”符合语境。故选D。
19.B [解析]空处为主旨句。根据下文“If you see value in making others laugh and keep yourself positive,you'll be a happier person,making others drawn to you as a result.”可知,本段介绍的是笑在生活中的重要性,所以B项“把笑放在第一位”能够概括段落主旨。故选B。
20.E [解析]通读本段可知,穿着得体,举止得体,别人就会被你吸引,多关注自己身体所拥有的迷人的部位。所以空处应该承接上文,告诉我们多关注自己身体的优点,不要过分在意外表。故E项“关注这些,而不是你的自我意识”符合语境。故选E。

假定你是李华,你校英语报就“如何看待一个人的外表”举行征文活动。你打算写一篇文章投稿,表达你对人的外表的看法和理解。
注意:词数80左右。
[参考范文]
As a high school student,I've come to realize that beauty goes beyond physical appearance.While a pleasing exterior may grab attention,it's the inner qualities that truly matter.
Kindness,intelligence,and a positive attitude are far more attractive than any physical beauty.A genuine smile or a thoughtful deed can touch hearts in ways that superficial charm cannot.
Moreover,diversity in appearance is what makes our world so fascinating.We should embrace our individual differences and learn to appreciate the beauty in each other's uniqueness.
In conclusion,let us not judge a book by its cover.Instead,let's focus on developing our own character and recognizing people's inner beauty.
第二节(满分25分)
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The sound of glass breaking was immediately recognizable.I had been telling my best friend a silly story and had spun around in the living room when I heard that sound and froze.
When I looked down at the rug(地毯),it was covered with tiny shards(碎片) of sparkling red,pink and clear glass.Missi said,“Oh,no,not the vase.”
“Why? What did I do?” My face reddened.
“Abby,that glass vase was one of the few items my relatives brought when they came to America,” Missi replied nervously.“If you'd broken anything else in the apartment,I would have gladly said I did it.But you're going to have to tell my mom that it was your fault,and she's going to be really mad.”
I was terrified.I'd destroyed a priceless family heirloom(传家宝).Why did I have to spin around like that?
We gathered up the broken pieces.I kept saying that maybe it could be fixed,but Missi said it didn't look possible.I insisted we keep the pieces.The glass was so delicate,like a colorful light bulb had exploded.Some of it broke even more as we tried to sweep it up carefully.
Missi said her mom would be home by six.My stomach was in knots.Would her mom yell at me or punish me? Would she tell me that I couldn't stay in their apartment for the weekend? Although it was hot then,I was in a cold sweat and couldn't stop playing the scene over in my mind.The only thing I could think of to say was “I'm sorry”.
A couple of minutes after six,we heard a key turn in the door.Missi's mom was home.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
Right from the start,we could see she was in a good mood.
Paragraph 2:
“Oh,thank you!I always hated that ugly vase!You've done me a huge favor!” Missi's mom screamed with delight.
[参考范文]

Right from the start,we could see she was in a good mood.And she offered to take us out for a cold drink.Before that,I gathered my courage to say,“Aunt,I have something to tell you.I came with Missi,and we were talking and laughing.I spun around and didn't look beforehand.The glass vase behind the couch fell.It broke into pieces.I am sorry.” I could feel my voice trembling.
Paragraph 2:
“Oh,thank you!I always hated that ugly vase!You've done me a huge favor.” Missi's mom screamed with delight.I couldn't believe my ears.This was not at all the reaction I had expected.Feeling shocked for a while,I couldn't stop the tears running down my face.I suddenly realized how considerate Missi's mom was.She probably was not happy because I had broken the vase.But she saw my uneasiness and tried to make me feel at ease.She taught me a lesson about consideration which I would always remember.
